#82: Having Political Conversations with Taylor Carlson

Taylor Carlson studies how people navigate political discussions. She does a bunch of interesting work, but I was most interested in talking with her about book she published with Jaime Settle last year. It’s called What Goes Without Saying: Navigating Political Discussion in America. In it, they report their findings from a variety of surveys and experiments and organize them into a four-step model of political discussion. 

I talked to Taylor about how she got interested in this area, how the book makes sense of how people approach talking politics with others, and what the future holds.
